Tesla Harmonic Resonance Projector

(1/2) > >>

Red Dog:
An idea I had for a new medium weapon, the Tesla Harmonic Resonance Projector. It would be a medium range weapon, which uses focused sound waves to shake an enemy ship to pieces. "Ammunition" would be a capacitor which would need to recharge when depleted. Damage would be relatively low, requiring the gunner to hold the focal point on target for maximum damage. Graphically the sonic waves could be represented as an area of distortion similar to projectile trails in game already. Rate of fire would be very high, as it is essentially a beam weapon. "Projectile" speed would be very high, as it is literally the speed of sound. Damage type would be piercing and shatter.

The gun itself would look like a large steampunk version of the LRAD.

Haha this could be really cool if it's well balanced, I like the idea :D Also this gun with incendiary ammo :Q would be awesome. Although I don't see why I'd have piercing damage, I mean perhaps to everyone's ears xD And maybe it'd make sense if using it would cause damage to the gun itself but I don't know much but about this sciency stuff... :P

"OMG HARMONIC RESONANCE... STARTREK LOLZ." -No one ever.
Anyways, I'm pretty sure you'd want it to do fletchette and shatter damage, as the sound would make the balloon burst due to pressure, and then the guns would go soon after.

Piercing because the vibrations would pass through the armor.
